THE QUARTERMASTER CORPS

The Quartermaster Corps

Is a non-combatin' crowd,

An' it isn't much excitin'

Fer th' man who likes it loud;

But it's got its own hard work t' do,

An' they'd all be on th' floor

If it wasn't for the non-combatin'

Quartermaster Corps.

The Quartermaster Corps

Sheds no glory or renown,

But it's got the grub that keeps you

Comin' back when you are down;

An' the Infantree an' Cavalree

Would all be on the floor

If it wasn't fer the non-combatin'

Quartermaster Corps.

The Quartermaster Corps

Is ol' Jimmy-on-the-Spot

When it comes to gettin' chow

To th' line where things are hot;

Why, the boys up in the trenches

Would all be on the floor

If it wasn't fer the non-combatin'

Quartermaster Corps.

​The Quartermaster Corps

Don't use bayonets or guns,

But they do a mighty lot o' work

To help clean up th' Huns;

So here's something to remember—

You might all be on the floor

If it wasn't fer the non-combatin'

Quartermaster Corps!

—William C. Pryor, Sgt., Q.M.C.
